Charles Rammelkamp’s review of Faraway Tables in North of Oxford

I'm pleased to share that Faraway Tables has been reviewed by poet and editor Charles Rammelkamp in the literary journal North of Oxford. In this thoughtful review, Rammelkamp delves into the themes of memory, nostalgia, and global connection that weave through the collection. He reflects on how the poems capture both the personal and the universal, exploring moments that resonate across borders and generations.
